Soldiers |
Dutallee! |
Dutallee! |
Dutallee! |
Dutallee! |
And when soldiers came |
Them say them come to make us tame |
And from that day until now on |
We were jeered and laughed to scorn |
Things used to be ire (before the soldiers came) |
Things used to be nice, so nice now |
Things used to be ire |
Things used to be nice, so nice |
Our country them did enter, yeah |
Troops trodding left right and centre |
Everywhere |
One moment at peace with Nature |
Now victims of a massacre |
We got our spears |
We got our shields |
But their guns were greater |
Prepare for a slaughter |
Give I back I witch doctor |
Give I back I Black Ruler |
Me no want no dictator |
Me no want no tyrant on yah |
Dutallee! |
Dutallee! |
Dutallee! |
Dutallee! |
Way down in Africa |
Where the backra still rules day after day |
The Black Man is suffering now far more |
Than when he was a slave |
Is there a need for war? |
No |
Peace my bredren — here them bawl |
Bodies in mutilated condition |
Faces scarred beyond recognition |
Is this what civilization means to me? |
Then without it I prefer to be |
So… |
Give I back I witch doctor |
Give I back I Black Ruler |
Me no want no dictator |
Me no want no tyrant on yah |
Dutallee! |
Dutallee! |
Dutallee! |
Dutailee! |
